Image editing system, image editing device, image editing method, and image editing program

Abstract

In an image editing system, an album creation device includes a reception unit that receives a plurality of images from a user and an image analysis unit that analyzes characteristics of the plurality of images. An analysis device includes a leaving determination rule setting unit for which an initial determination rule for determining a degree of possibility that the user is to leave an editing operation of the user using the plurality of images received by the reception unit of the album creation device is set and a leaving prediction unit that predicts the degree of possibility of leaving from a determination result acquired by applying an analysis result of the image analysis unit to the initial determination rule.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. An image editing system comprising:
 a processor; and 
 a memory connected to the processor; 
 wherein the processor is configured to execute a process including: 
 receiving a plurality of images; 
 setting an initial determination rule for determining a degree of possibility that the user is to leave an editing operation of the user using the plurality of images; 
 analyzing characteristics of the plurality of images; and 
 predicting the degree of possibility of leaving from a determination result acquired by applying a result of the analyzing to the initial determination rule; 
 wherein, in a case where the predicted degree of possibility of leaving is greater than a predetermined threshold, providing a determination that a possibility of leaving is high. 
 
     
     
       2. The image editing system according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 displaying a predetermined display for suppressing the leaving or for causing the user to perform the editing operation again after the user leaves on a display unit in a case where the predicting determines that the possibility of leaving is high. 
 
     
     
       3. The image editing system according to  claim 2 ,
 wherein the displaying performs the predetermined display in at least one of a time before the editing operation is started or a time within a predetermined time after the editing operation is started. 
 
     
     
       4. The image editing system according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 monitoring the editing operation of the user in a case where the predicting determines that the possibility of leaving is high, 
 wherein the predicting predicts the degree of possibility of leaving from a determination result acquired by applying a monitoring result to an in-operation determination rule for determining the degree of possibility of leaving during the editing operation based on past data. 
 
     
     
       5. The image editing system according to  claim 4 ,
 wherein the in-operation determination rule is set based on a time elapsed after the user starts the editing operation and a change amount of an editing time when the user performs the editing operation on mountboards to which the plurality of images is assigned and on which the editing operation is performed. 
 
     
     
       6. The image editing system according to  claim 5 ,
 wherein the information regarding the editing operations is at least one of a ratio of the number of a plurality of similar images to the number of the plurality of images, the number of the plurality of images, or the number of mountboards to which the plurality of images is assigned and on which the editing operation is performed. 
 
     
     
       7. The image editing system according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the initial determination rule is set for the setting unit based on a relationship between information regarding editing operations performed by a plurality of users and information indicating whether or not the users leave the editing operations. 
 
     
     
       8. The image editing system according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 saving a content of the editing operation before the user leaves the editing operation in a case where the user leaves the editing operation, and reproducing the saved content of the editing operation in a case where an instruction to resume the editing operation is received after the user leaves. 
 
     
     
       9. The image editing system according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 providing information indicating the user is able to receive a predetermined service by resuming the editing operation after the user leaves to the user in a case where the user leaves the editing operation. 
 
     
     
       10. An image editing device comprising:
 a processor; and 
 a memory connected to the processor; 
 wherein the processor is configured to execute a process including: 
 receiving a plurality of images from a user; 
 analyzing characteristics of the plurality of images; and 
 predicting a degree of possibility of leaving that the user is to leave the editing operation of the user using the received plurality of images from a determination result acquired by applying an analysis result of the analyzing to an initial determination rule for determining the degree of possibility of leaving, displaying a predetermined display for suppressing the leaving or for causing the user to perform the editing operation again after the user leaves on a display unit in a case where a predicting of an analysis device determines that the possibility of leaving is high, and providing a determination that the possibility of leaving is high in a case where the predicted degree of possibility of leaving is greater than a predetermined threshold. 
 
     
     
       11. An image editing method comprising:
 receiving a plurality of images from a user; 
 setting an initial determination rule for determining a degree of possibility that the user is to leave an editing operation of the user using the plurality of received images; 
 analyzing characteristics of the plurality of images; and 
 predicting the degree of possibility of leaving from a determination result acquired by applying a result of the analysis to the initial determination rule; 
 wherein, in a case where the predicted degree of possibility of leaving is greater than a predetermined threshold, providing a determination that a possibility of leaving is high. 
 
     
     
       12. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program that causes a computer to execute a process for an image editing, the process comprising:
 receiving a plurality of images from a user; 
 setting an initial determination rule for determining a degree of possibility that the user is to leave an editing operation of the user using the plurality of received images; 
 analyzing characteristics of the plurality of images; and 
 predicting the degree of possibility of leaving from a determination result acquired by applying a result of the analysis to the initial determination rule; 
 wherein, in a case where the predicted degree of possibility of leaving is greater than a predetermined threshold, providing a determination that a possibility of leaving is high.
